Let’s solve each problem step by step by counting the groups and the items in each group, then writing the multiplication expression.
---
Problem 1: Apples
- There are
4 circles (groups).
- Each circle has
3 apples.
- So, we have “
4 times 3” — meaning 4 groups of 3.
✔ Answer:
>
4 times
3 =
4 ×
3
*(Note: You could also write 3 × 4, but since the worksheet says “___ times ___”, it typically follows the order: number of groups × number in each group.)*

Problem 2: Carrots
- There are
3 circles (groups).
- Each circle has
2 carrots.
- So, we have “
3 times 2” — meaning 3 groups of 2.
✔ Answer:
>
3 times
2 =
3 ×
2

Problem 3: Tomatoes
- There are
2 circles (groups).
- Each circle has
6 tomatoes (3 on top, 3 on bottom).
- So, we have “
2 times 6” — meaning 2 groups of 6.
✔ Answer:
>
2 times
6 =
2 ×
6
---
✔ Final Answers:
1.
4 times
3 =
4 ×
3
2.
3 times
2 =
3 ×
2
3.
2 times
6 =
2 ×
6
This teaches the concept of multiplication as repeated addition:
- 4 × 3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
- 3 × 2 = 2 + 2 + 2
- 2 × 6 = 6 + 6
Great job practicing multiplication with visual grouping! 🍎🥕🍅
